Democrats, huh? The 'world' is more outraged by a bad polit reality show of corrupted leaders than by an ongoing genocide, which reveals the true values of the society. These so called 'journalists' should do themselves a favour to quit their job. #us
“The world owes the Ukrainian president a favour for showing us the true face of the pair of American gangsters who are waging war on truth and democracy, says Simon Walters.This reality tv shit show will haunt the US for decades"
"Emacs 30.1 is upon us, and it’s time for another bumper release full of new features and improvements.
As always, I have taken the time to go through most of the changes in Emacs 30.1 and annotated them to give perspective and clarity."

Update. "Will medical publishers fight Trump’s war on 'woke'?"
https://www.thebookseller.com/comment/will-medical-publishers-fight-trumps-war-on-woke
"Although many medical journal #editors have made their position known, medical #publishers are, for now, conspicuously silent…The collective resolve of the medical publishing industry is being put to the test. This is an opportunity for the industry to affirm its commitment to safeguard the scholarly record from ideological distortion. #Censorship in health research affects us all. We share a responsibility to stand firm and decry Trump’s war on "gender ideology" as a full-scale assault on the scientific method."

Bijna de volledige Editorial Board van het Journal of Human Evolution is opgestapt uit onvrede over hoe #Elsevier de publicatie runt.
Bioloog Myers (University of Minnesota Morris), op zijn blog:
"Elsevier has, as usual, mismanaged the #journal and done everything they could to maximize profit at the expense of quality [...] In particular, they decided that human #editors were too expensive, so they’re trying to do the job with #AI."

An incredible batch of rock songs, and my relationship with Editors has never waned over the years. They’ve never made a record that’s disappointed me.
As an American living in Canada, I’m pretty much on an island by myself when it comes to these guys.
Also not sure how they’re treated or looked upon in their home country, so I’d like to hear about it from anyone across the pond.

#Authors and non-editors, this post is for you. Want to know why most #editors don't think #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) should be invited into #BookPublishing? Please read the blog post at https://defector.com/theres-no-shortcut-to-publishing-a-book. We must all pay attention to this issue so that publishing doesn't go away.
#writerscoffeeclub #editors Hi, everyone. I'm looking a localish(Left Coast) freelance editor to help an abject novice who knows zero about the writing/publishing biz. First, is there such a job description? I'm looking for help on some drafts - grammar and structure and advice on how everything works, mainly.
Thanks,
Willie
A new study tracks the rise of spelling errors as markers of scholarly carelessness.
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2024/10/28/casual-inference-and-pubic-health-what-a-rise-in-common-spelling-errors-says-about-the-state-of-research-culture/
"We examined spelling errors as a simple indicator of corner cutting. Spelling errors are less serious than other bad writing practices…but they are easy to check across millions of papers…The total error rate has increased from 0.1 per ten thousand abstracts in 1970, to 8.7 per ten thousand in 2023."
OK. But the study blames #authors alone, not also #editors and #journals.
By the end of the meeting…, it appeared to Shipley & Lewis that #Bezos had reservations about The #WashingtonPost endorsing either candidate….But they thought he was open to persuasion.
Bezos’ ultimate decision, to end #WaPo’s decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates, exploded into public view on Friday, drawing criticism from #reporters, #editors & #readers, along w/an unusual rebuke from the legendary Post journalists #BobWoodward & #CarlBernstein.
Top #Editors Eviscerate #JeffBezos’ Decision to Kill #WaPo Endorsement
David Maraniss, an associate editor at The #WashingtonPost – whose coverage of Bill Clinton at the paper won him the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting – has spoken for many in The Post’s newsroom over #Bezos’ decision to kill an #endorsement of #KamalaHarris for president.
